Global 10-Inch Left-Handed Yanagi/Sashimi Knife: Nothing Fishy Here

Tony B | May 11, 2011 | 0 Comments

A yanagi sashimi knife is designed primarily to fillet and slice fish. If you’re an ardent lover of sashimi (or sushi!), then having a knife of this kind should be part of your cutlery set.

Global 10-Inch Left-Handed Yanagi/Sashimi Knife is an excellent knife for the job. Global knives’ singular edge and balance makes them a cut above the rest and certainly one of the world’s finest.

The Edge

A knife’s cutting edge is one of its most important features. Global knives are sharpened on both sides of the blade, reminiscent of its western-style counterparts. However, its edges are ground straight to a point (instead of bevelled), thereby, resulting in a significantly sharper blade. The best thing about it is it stays sharper, longer!

The Handle

This sashimi knife has a hollow handle with just the right amount of sand to establish the correct balance while in use. Rather than having a full tang and bolster, Global decided on the “sand method” to maintain the desired stability. Why? Because:

It’s simply a better than the full tang-bolster method.
Asian-style knives generally don’t have bolsters because they obstruct the cutting and sharpening processes.

The Material

Each knife is crafted from only the best quality high carbon stainless steel. Its blade features Cromova 18 stainless steel with the following characteristics:

Ice tempered
Hardened to Rockwell C56°-58°
Maintains sharpness longer
Stain, rust and corrosion resistant

The Design

You can never go wrong with Global 10-Inch Left-Handed Yanagi/Sashimi Knife. The seamless and smooth design removes food and dirt traps, thus, providing only the best in safety and hygiene.
